The textbook deals with central fields of application of educational psychology - educational-psychological diagnostics, evaluation of teaching and educational-psychological counselling. The introduction deals with basics and methods, such as scale levels and different types of reference norms. The following chapters look at typical fields of application of individual diagnostics, such as giftedness, dyslexia and ADHD. In addition to definitions and theoretical concepts, possibilities of diagnostic procedures and support are described in each case.
Further questions in the field of psychological-pedagogical diagnostics concern decisions along the school career, which are discussed in the following chapters. These include questions about school entry and the transition to primary school, the diagnosis of specific support needs, but also school performance assessment. As examples of educational-psychological system diagnostics, evaluations in schools and universities and their consequences are dealt with. The book concludes with an overview of educational-psychological fields of action in which diagnostics, evaluation and counselling play central roles.
